• A. 1.50 mol
• B. 1.50 mol
• C. 1.00 mol
• D. 1.50 mol

Answer: (B)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the given information: the mass of cyclohexanone is 147 g, and its molar mass is 98 g/mol.
2. Recall the formula to calculate moles from mass and molar mass: \(\text{moles} = \frac{\text{mass (g)}}{\text{molar mass (g/mol)}}\).
3. Substitute the given values into the formula: \(\text{moles} = \frac{147}{98}\).
4. Perform the division to find the number of moles (do not calculate the final value here, just set up the expression).
5. Interpret the result as the amount of cyclohexanone in moles present in the sample.
